You don’t have to be a chef to make great food

This year, take the festival into the future by infusing the traditional with some modern Raksha Bandhan recipes.
But that doesn’t mean you get rid of age-old tradition entirely. How about mixing things up this year and trying something a little different?

Easy Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients:
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/8 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp milk
Preparation:
1. In a large-sized mug, put in the flour, sugar, cocoa and salt;
2. Add the vanilla, milk and butter, then mix to form the batter;
3. Leaving enough space in the mug for the cake to rise, place the mug into a microwave for one minute on the highest power setting;
4. After a minute, use a toothpick to check whether the cake has been cooked through. You can do this by inserting the toothpick into the mug – if it comes out clean, your cake is cooked. If not, put it back into the microwave for 30 more seconds; and
5. Wait for a few minutes to let it cool down and then serve.
